Faculty Fellows

A&L’s Faculty Fellowships are intended to enhance student support and student-facing programming and resources. In addition, they will support the research and development of pedagogical tools, faculty resources, and initiatives that foster curricular integration.

Faculty Fellows draw on their own experience, interests, and RISD’s demonstrated institutional needs to advance strategic development of A&L’s existing programs. Working under the supervision of the Director of the Center for Arts & Language, with A&L staff, with each other, with faculty, and with students, they research, develop, deliver, and assess topics, methods, and outcomes in three primary areas: Written and Oral Communication, Multilingual Learning, and Publishing. See this year’s fellows and their projects below.
